William A. Wheeler was born
June 80, 1919, IN Malone, Franklin
county, n. Y. He entered the
University OF Vermont in the class
which graduated in 1912, but the
sudden death of his father com
PEELED him to leave his collegiate
course uncompleted. He COM
menced the study Of law with Col
onel Asa Hascall, and was at diff
ferent times employed at school
teaching. Soon after his admission
to the bar he rose rapidly in the
legal profession, and was made dis
trict attorney for Franklin county,
holding the position until he de-
cllned to retain it longer. For sew
eral years he was superintendent
of schools for Franklin county. In
1850 and 1851 Mr.. Wheeler repre-
sented Franklin county in the New
York Assembly; was a member OF
the Senate in 1858 and 1859, and
president pro TEN. Of that body
He was president Of the New York

ty-second, FOrty.third and Forty
fourth Congresses, and in June,
1876, was unanimously nominated
for the vice. presidency on the tick
ct with Rutherford b. Hayes by

ton at Cincinnati. For several
years he was much engaged in

ton of cashier and chief managing

conspicuous, he having been chair

the difficulties existing there on the
basis of what Is known as "the
Wheeler Compromise" He had
been an invalid tor many months.

WILLIAM A. WHEELER DEAD.
THE EX.PREsIDENT's sUFFERINGs
ENDED-HIS POLITICAL
CAREER.

MALONE, n. Y, June 1.-The
Hon. William A. Wheeler, ex.Vice-
President of the United States,
died this morning. His death was
painless, and life went cut so grad
ually and quietly that it was hard
to mark the exact moment of its
flight. Though vitality had been
decreasing slowly through the past
six years, Mr.. Wheeler retained his
usual vigOr up to perhaps SIX
months ago. From that date he
had failed rapidly. lie was tor
tured terribly by insomnia and
neuralgia, and was also afflicted
with catarrh Of the bladder. The
night of the third of March
last he was seized with chill, fol-
lowed by a sinking spell and then
by fever, and for hours his physi-
clan thought him dying. He never
fully rallied from that attack, and
his mind and body have wasted to-
gether. There has probably been
softening of the brain, and for
weeks he had been irrational. The
brain affection was the immediate
cause of his death. On Monday last
he sank into a condition of uncon-
seriousness from which he never full
| ly aroused, except for a moment or
two at a time, and from Wednesday
had not spoken nor given any sign
of recognition of friends or OF what
was transporting about him. MIR.
Wheeler had no near relatives in
the world to minister to him during
his illness, or to watch by his side
at death, but the relatives OF his
deceased wife and friends who have
been bound to him from bOyhOod
by the closest ties of affection, who
were tender in solicitude for him,
and a few of them were grouped
with his pastor and physician about
him when his final summons came.
The approach of death was so grad
ual that it caused no public shock,
even here at his home, though there
il universal sorrow among the peo'
pie. Flags are at half-mast, and
emblems of mourning will be dis
played.
The funeral will be held at one
o'clock on Tuesday, June Z, at the
Congregational church, with a ser
mon by the pastor, to whom Mr..
Wheeler had been almost a second
father. A meeting Of citizens will
be held this evening to appoint
committees to arrange for a cltl.
zensI memorial service to be held
on Tuesday evening, and at which
the men who we're the associates
and friends of his youth and ma
ture manhood will voice their own
and the community's love for him.
President Cleveland, who is in
the Adirondacks, and within few
hours ride of here, has been APP
| priced of Mr.. Wheeler's death and
the time of the funeral.
The following telegram has been
received from ex-President Hayes {:

sTARTLINo CALCULATION.

The American people are accustomed,
among their many other boasts, to exull
over their rapid increase in number. The
showing of each census furnishes ample
cause for such emulation until the next
census furnishes better. The statistics
of each increase are paraded and repa-
raded as evidence of our wonderful pro-
gress and as indication of the yet more
glorious destiny that awaits us.
All this is very well. But the time will
come when decrease, rather than an in-
crease of population, will be national
desideratum. OF course that time is a
long way 10 the future. No man living
now may see it. But it is coming never
theless, although it may not come as soon
as statisticians like Prof. Richard A.
Proctor would bring it.
Prof. Proctor has just published some
interesting calculations on this subject.
In England, for instance, despite the pau
perism and emigration, the population
has increased at the rate of II per cent.
per annum for the last twenty years. The
rate of increase in the future will proba-
bly, be over than under this, Prof. Proc
tor thinks; but putting it at Il per cent.
the population of England will have in
creased tenfold in 154 years, while by the
year 2500 it will have increased ten thous.
and fold, or will amount to 800, 900, 900,
600, exceeding some 200 times the proba-
bic present population of the whole earth.
There will then be about six square feet
of space for each inhabitant in England.
In the United States the population
doubles in about twenty years. In four
centuries at this rate, the increase of the
population of the United States would be
about million fold, amounting to about
sixty millions of millions-a population OF
sixteen millions per square mile. This
would be about the density as IL the en-
tire population Of the United States to-
day were compressed into four (perhaps
littl6 less than FOUR square miles of ter
rit6ry. II the whole North and SoutL
America were available tor the population
Of the United States then, about three
fourths of square yard of surface would
be available for each inhabitant, while u
the whole earth were occupied by these
sixty millions Of millions, there would b
nearly three yards of space for eacl
person.

SOME IRISH STATISTICS.

From some comparative tables COM
piled by the London DAILY News it is
possible to extract some exhibits which
go to prove that Ireland is literally
being sucked dry by the tax collecting
leeches of the Imperial Government
For instance, it is shown that Ireland,
with property and income assessment
in 1885, of G35, 912, 100, population OF
1852, 693 paid contribution of Ct, 775,
DOL, while England and Wales, with an
assessment value of e553. 1879, $50 aud a
population of q, 1927, $50, and Scotland,
with population Of 1866, 521, paid a
contribution of 98, 825, GAL on an assessed
valuation OF e61, 125, 422. The s'Daily
News" makes the startling assertion that
this proves Ireland to have paid an OK.
cess of GA, 600, 900, aud that 10 the
thirty.two years from 1858 to 1885, Ire
land contributed, by force. to the British
treasury e100, 100000 beyond her fair
share.
Then again, it is shown that in 1851
Ireland's contribution was "a 006, Ill

capital or incidence being II shillings
and pence, which in 1855. f6aT Ernest

the same period the taxation of Great
Britain had been diminishing more than
3 shillings per head.
The result OF all this is shown in the
pauper statistics. When Ireland had a
population 100000 there were but TO-.
334 paupers, while in 1885 there were
200, 237 paupers to reduced population
of about 10000 0J. In 1886 there were
357, 52l paupers in workhcuses and 348,
